There exists a book72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8aukso9c8
that withholds to be opened twice.
Its pages are not made of paper72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymIA2qrzM7
but of hesitation cooled into form,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AMYyLsHbS
and its binding is stitched72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVtOQSiQFO
with something resembling quiet.
I have seen it only when the light goes astray —72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2j1Dv2g9k
when lamps grow theatrical72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnIYyFYLa4
and corners become too honest.
Words appear, then reconsider themselves,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6COY8FwB96
leaving behind the imprint of meaning72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHE04srKgG
without the inconvenience of certainty.
Ink here does not dry;72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWIhNdhvIu
it dawdles like a well-mannered secret,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnejYIaNVpq
refusing to smudge,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA4Ljwz4YA
declining to leave.
Sometimes the pages turn on their own,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0mYJMELPA
though no hands are present72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84l9sAS8zP
to take credit.
And in the margins,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmg84VXqwj
where explanations might have lived,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdEy2YagEn
there are only delicate indentations 72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UUtqY9eaf
of what thought might look like72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjlgbP02el
if it learned to behave.
The book is never finished.72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDvXFsXYOj
It prefers suspense to conclusion,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ffD3uYVq
and silence to interpretation—72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GTICCvwBp
a very respectable form of captivation.
How it survives72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF3VQOzJKv
without ever being read72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngtA2GHCeN
is not a mystery,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfUzI4tzOj
but a habit it resists to break.
It learns the shape of waiting72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VIKxnRP8w
so well72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA9APtrQ3c
that even time holds back; 72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18vDkmjNMI
to disturb it.
And when someone finally dares72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbY6wdf7yK
to name its contents,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmqoFmNbJl
the letters step aside72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbDhto86qK
politely72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3TQEwJrhP
as if they were never meant72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfky52Vlk8
to be seen at all.
So the book remains72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK7DpX0yJ4
what it always was:72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hl1lNnqnC
a place where meaning goes72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYPo4UlKBc
when it decides72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcpnxxaEdx
not to arrive.
It was in a paper mausoleum72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdVP8ig83f
Or in a ruin of notebooks?72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBFtG7cjgw
Ash gray;72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalChlChCmO
Buried in dust,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoWE8Tei1p
All that was to fade72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugqzlY10HP
Or to remain dormant.
There was something tragic about its unused pages,72Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFKI8DFNk
The dog eared corners, and candlewax stains.
